Hell yeah !!

[@MikeTarlton]

Now we need Ford to put the 5.0 V8 in the Ranger and Bronco Raptor for a R version.

[@troypatillo1688]

That would be awesome

[@yaboykris2118]

That would be freaking awesome and Ford would be killing it. Either that or the 7.3 Godzilla. Wish they would do more with the 7.3.

[@TotallyNotTurf]

I don’t know if it would be a very good idea to put a v8 in the braptor

[@DragonKnightX12]

Honestly I would rather have the 3.5.HO from the regular F150 Raptor in the Ranger Raptor. Plus 35s from the factory. Or make s smaller 4.0 Coyote with a bi-turbo like the G-Wagon engine.

[@cookieboy7102]

you like unreliability ?

[@forzer456]

In this colour they should have just called it the Warthog

[@lucasokeefe7935]

I like to call it the warthog

​@@snakeeyes9246wrong warthog

[@G82Watts]

Warthog is literally based on a hummer. I don't get why other people are calling other trucks a warthog.

[@forzer456]

@@G82Watts guess we know you can’t dream. I would say the raptor is closer to a warthog in almost every way. It is faster, more manoeuvrable, and can jump.

[@weeAmos]

You guys make such awesome reviews. They’re so laidback yet still very informative. I like that it feels like I’m almost hanging out with you guys every video.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Thanks, that’s all we’ve ever wanted

[@Nightcrawla7]

Doesn't get more 'Murica than this. Truck is a beauty.

[@aussie2uGA]

Only in perception. Most of this is made outside the USA.

[@torringooley99]

Even with the electric revolution going on, there are still beasts being made. Idk why ppl trip so hard over EVs.

[@aussie2uGA]

@@torringooley99 Probably because we’ve been playing around with gas cars and trucks for over a hundred years and this is as far as we’ve gotten with performance. Now technology hands us instant torque A/C motors at each wheel with batteries than can output over 1500amps of power, and that’s been in less than 10 years! Imagine what more advancements and research will yield! Fun times ahead for speed junkies.

[@DragonKnightX12]

​@@aussie2uGAIt's not tho.. Koenigsegg has pushed ICE even further. Mainstream manufacturers just got lazy and cheap until the governments started forcing them to innovate.

I’ll probably never spend this much on any car, but I’m happy to know someone is out there enjoying this awesome truck

[@chrismarttila6726]

Love the microscope and detailed closeups of the interior. Great job guys.

[@laraava]

Always more microscope

That's really good you feel that way. Do you wash the truck for him before they go out on dates? I mean, c'mon be a team player.

[@joeysmurf1]

keep the microscope lens, fun look, no snake skin

[@EndeavorsDnB]

Agreed

[@gabethebaeb_5881]

I genuinely love the sound of the Raptor R, it sounds like a beefy race car. I’d definitely consider buying one in the future.

[@tortreform9478]

Yes we want the 7.3 naturally aspirated V8. We also want the Excursion back.

[@michaelmongelluzzo9206]

Yes bring back the excursion!!!! Best truck ever!

[@FrostyDog9186]

@@michaelmongelluzzo9206 And make it an EV so I can watch all the alpha bros lose their minds.

[@BruceDragon-sf1tr]

That Excursion was just too dam big bro, Ford needs to make smaller one if they do

[@CuratedCars]

@@BruceDragon-sf1tr 😆 it’s called an Expedition MAX…it needs to be a 3/4 ton just like that old one, the size and capability is what made it special

[@BruceDragon-sf1tr]

@CuratedCars yea but another 3 ft longer and it would've been considered a bus . It was a beast though

[@fastberry1162]

Jakub tripping, I like the microscope clips

[@slowaccord]

I love the microscope shots and all the close ups of the interior. More review channels need these!

[@OhidurRahman-bl1jv]

Perfect daily driver and long drives with the family especially with kids. I love this car. Thank you

[@mach1mustangguy992]

That’s one thing I like about my raptor gen 1 besides the v8 is that it was nvr ment to be luxurious and whoever ordered it he specd it out bare bones as possible and and ordered all the good stuff (performance parts)

[@jwalesoutlaw3294]

I can kick myself for not buying a gen1 Raptor and doing exactly what you described. I bought Tundra in 2014 and drove it for 10 years which is fine but a missed opportunity

[@BenTroxell]

Camera man COOKED with the tailgate broll 🔥🔥

[@tbj4855]

I ain’t seen this channel in a while good to see y’all still doing good

[@TheStraightPipes]

Thanks! We won’t ever stop so come back anytime

[@ColtCapperrune]

I feel like the older ones looked so much better, the fenders bulged much more, and they looked so much more aggressive. This latest generation has sharper lines, but overall I feel like it looks less aggressive.

[@Alex-ss4bk]

Because of the price, I got a TRX instead, I understand the R is more exclusive but I can’t justify the price. Was in a GT500, I understand what the pred engine can do.

[@Dormantee]

Yeah. Had my TRX since '21 and even with my trade in value I can't justify the cost when the truck is nearly identical in performance. TRX still looks better tho.

[@ilocanodetoy2225]

Looking at interior and technology I can’t justify Raptor R price over TRX.

[@dethkl0k]

You can justify a TRX? lol

[@russsafonin9873]

@@dethkl0kit’s a $30k difference (with the ADM that R’s go for) so yeah, easy to justify $100k for a TRX.

[@jwalesoutlaw3294]

I live in an affluent area and never see these except on dealer lots. I do see TRXs here and there and regular F 150 Raptors all over the place...mine included lol

[@christopherprose3881]

Guys, haven't commented in a long while, but keeping tuned in on your reviews. I still really enjoy your relationship and find myself watching your interactions with one another which, sometimes, is more important than the car you're reviewing. I really value BOTH of your takes on the car (even when they diverge) because different perspectives offers up more insight. You are a good team and true car enthusiasts too that provide an important service to car buyers that need information that might help they make a smart decision on their next purchase. Also, you guys are pretty funny. Keep up the GREAT work!

[@griffin2027]

Liking for Yuri's X-Men shirt. ❤

[@JoshTheElectric]

The fact that everyone keeps brushing over the price and doesn't bash them is insane and a good reason why they don't lower them

[@apexak]

Memorial day weekend! Freedom wasn't free! 🇺🇲

[@diesolit]

the microscope was dope, it shows the quality of the fabric

[@mazzeimazgaj]

kay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations

[@jamespenner1412]

I agree, the Ram TRX sounds just perfect!!! Hats off to ford for still making a v8. Hope the next TRX will come back with a v8, if FCA still owned the brand they would. But Stalantis im not so sure about.

[@issavibez394]

0:01 that sound of that beauty beast omg 😍 sheesh is like music 🎶

[@titogee36]

It sounds like a raptor

[@TyreeKingHomeTours]

Now we need the Bronco Raptor R with the V8!

More microscope 🔬😂😂😂

[@drewelliott9062]

This is the coolest truck on the market this year

[@tylerwolfe6238]

Ohhhh boy I’ve been waiting for this video ever since I saw this peeking from the background in one of the last videos!!!!

The wait is over 🫣

[@bentawakali6154]

This is an amazing truck and love your reviews guys, just miss the reviews you did back then at a certain farm with trucks

[@darielsantana4381]

the only truck ill consider and in this color is a beauty

[@williamcarmichael4061]

Coming to a ford dealership near you for the small price of 300k dollars, the ones near me are still attempting to sell bronco raptors for 110k

[@marshallmurphy8480]

I LOVE that color, it would look great on a bronco 👌🏻 you’re right, it’s not flashy enough to be a special color, but it should be available on more fords in my opinion

[@bigmountain7561]

$120,000 without the big hole above your head!! Lol!! I live in Florida and I get enough Sun!! And if you take the truck to Texas to Hennessy and have them put the 1000 HP Package on it for another 25,000 bucks you can use 75 between Windsor and Naples as your own personal race track!! LMAO!!!! Great Video Thank You 🙏

[@m_m_m_beer8917]

Pretty thankful Ford is still doing V8s. And GM too.

[@ArjunRajanPoduval]

Cool review Jakub and Yuri! Try the Ford Expedition 2021-2024 for Blue Cruise. It has been amazing although on GTA roads, for me! Only pain point has been the lane keep assist going berserk at intersections! 🤣

[@Isaac-cl8io]

In my opinion I never liked the hellcat whine. It’s way too loud. I think the raptor r is the perfect balance, if I have a v8 I wanna hear it roar and not just an obnoxious high pitch whine.

[@Isaac-muntz]

Your tripping

[@cbotten106]

Ageed. It's obnoxious. Wait, hold on. Isn't that the whole exercise here?

What do you think of the F-150 Shelby Off-Road 785h?! Would you still stick with the Raptor or go with the Shelby? Thanks! 😊🤙🏼👍🔥

[@vinnyrizz3864]

Love that this is what an actual velociraptor skin color would have been

[@junior130007]

More microscopic shoots please

[@TheStraightPipes]

Deal

[@techlaw997]

I like that microscope view. It’s kind of fun and unique. Nobody else has been doing that so keep it up.

[@Wrenchingandnursing]

Both are great trucks, definitely would take whatever is cheaper. Try finding a Raptor R right now for anywhere close to the MSRP that's already substantially more than the TRX. I wouldn't own either out of warranty though, that's an expensive repair bill that's only a matter of time if you are using and abusing it like I know I would.

[@djpeeps2772]

Looks awesome, the vinyl on the back quarter panels look amazing

[@BrandonK80]

The color is sick. Love the spec of this truck.

[@JsGarage]

I like the color and the updated front end personally. Awesome trucks!

[@2bunphettered788]

I was thinking school pickup line but that's what makes a serious work truck, like this, so versatile.

[@PhillyDee215]

That truck is wicked...🤟

[@nmtay]

I think it's funny that Ford heard all of the complaints about the RaptoR graphic and it not standing out, so they decided the slap a big ass R on the side and said "are you happy now?" That's hilarious. 🤣

[@Ttya-bm4gk]

That is one siiiiick truck . Love that color too.

[@keananfischer8113]

Dudes come on i love this color. I want a super duty in this color!

[@xXDiGiTaLBaThXx]

Its a dope truck but Id rather have a TRX. I love the sounds and looks of both. The TRX interior is so sick though!

[@apm3rk]

I LOVE THE MICROSCOPE!!!

[@nealtracy4990]

Saw my first Raptor R yesterday!! Freaked out when I saw the new "R" badge!

[@brianenochs]

There are plenty of brand-new 2023 and 2024 model-year TRXs still available on dealer lots. The RHO is a 2025 and is not out yet but is available to order

[@joemunoz7347]

I hate that they shorten the fenders! The truck doesn’t have that wide body look anymore and that’s what made it look more aggressive when they first came out with the raptor!!!

[@actontreadway1168]

if my 2nd gen had sounded this good I never would have given it up. I bought a new stx to replace it because I'm not spending over $110k on an R, I require a v8, and I'm sick of having my truck in the shop to fix little nickels and dimes.

[@christopherdouglas8471]

No money from manufacturers. Just Yuri’s Honda snowblower and lawnmower.

[@TheStraightPipes]

I tried to get a Honda snowblower tester for the winter but Honda Canada loafted so hard and never got me. Luckily ego hooked me up with an electric snow blower. For grass I don’t like rotary mowers and I’m happy with my Gardena push mower and especially my Allett cylindrical mower

[@jman6970]

Just traded in my 23 “Rapto” for a 24. I love both years equally, just wanted to change things up with the new color. They’re great trucks. Now we just need to convince Ford to throw a Coyote in the Bronco Raptor and replace the ugly flares with a true wide body.

[@austinhundley6263]

Imagine a supercharged voodoo config in this beast revving to 8200 rpm 🤤

[@mariowhyte7848]

"You probably care abpout stickers with a shirt like that"....OOOOOOH MYYYYY GAAAAAWWWWD....You didn't have to roast Yuri like that, bro!!! Awesome review!!! This Raptor R is a beast!!!

[@bdulraman-em1tf]

Awesome.But how did you make the front go up and down and what mode was it on?

[@Thefloorsspeakyiddish]

The TRX has something the Raptor never will. Maybe it’s because it was first, maybe it’s because the Raptor will never be as popular. The TRX just has that cool factor

[@catd11ng74]

Don't care what nobody says, this is awesome truck and if i had the cash, i'd buy in a heartbeat.

[@bpcuaie]

720hp, 868 Nm and will flip at the sight of a corner. Why? What's the point?

[@biassicalabria3055]

My question is who is able to afford these vehicles where they continue to release them each year or is it just limited release only a few thousand world wide? Just curious not tryna sound ignorant.

[@aussie2uGA]

They’re halo vehicles the manufacturer releases for brand excitement. In the old days, people walking in to see the “GT40” walked out with a Fiesta or Focus…

[@biassicalabria3055]

@@aussie2uGA got you. Ya i went to look for a nice truck then saw just normal price was like 40k - 50k

[@439530]

I might be wrong here, but maybe people who can actually afford it. But who knows.

[@larryhouse3776]

$150,000 over 8 years leaves you with a $720 bi weekly payment. If a couple in a household both pull in reasonable income, affording this truck would be easy. With that said however, I could see insurance and fuel costs combined could potentially be more than the payment for some people.

Hysterical

[@The-fs5wn]

When the TRX was out, all of the comments were “The TRX has a V8, I don’t care if it costs more and has to be loaded with 30k in options to get solid features”. Now when the RHO is in with the I6 and way less power and off-road capability, it’s “Oh well it costs less, the Raptor R is a bad value even though it comes with every single option imaginable as standard equipment”. Mopar fanbase sucks almost as bad as Toyota.

[@bennettfriesen33]
